The Challenge

As the group behind some of the country’s most recognised grocery convenience brands, BWG needed a partner they could trust to deliver at scale, and to provide site-specific solutions to its network of franchisees.

BWG needed an energy partner with the expertise and financing capabilities to deliver energy efficient lighting retrofits across a number of stores. The success of the project was contingent upon finding a solution that could be adapted to individual stores, and would deliver significant energy cost savings without compromising the customer experience.

The Solution

130-store lighting retrofit, swapping out traditional systems for energy-efficient LED lighting which provides the new technology without the need for initial capital investment.

The Technology

Designed to reduce energy consumed by lighting by up to 70 per cent - LED lighting generates less heat, requires less maintenance and doesn’t compromise the customer experience.

The Results

50-60% reduction in lighting energy costs per store

Energy consumption reduced by 3.8 GWh per year

Reduced CO2 emissions by 1,400 tonnes

We needed a lighting retrofit solution that would ensure our franchisees received value for money and cost savings, without compromising experience of their customers or employees.
